Great City - 9/10/2008
I lived in Livonia most of my life and it's a pretty decent city! The schools are good, there are plenty of parks. There are 3 public pools, a couple of golf courses and the roads are improving. The only thing I didn't like was going to Stevenson with all the spoiled, rich kids. Thats the odd thing about Livonia.. if you start off in the southeast corner (by Westland and Redford) homes are around 150,000-200,000 if you go northwest through the city the homes go up to 500,000 in that corner of the city. One the subject of housing with the economy struggling a bit homes are going up for rent now and renters are coming from Detroit.
Overall, the city is great! Nice houses, tons of parks and recreation opportunities for kids of all ages. Not to mention the new state-of-the-art Recreation center, outdoor rollar hockey rink and ballparks abundant. The high schools all have special things about them. Churchill has a creative and performing arts program, Stevenson has a global

Decent, actually - 6/25/2006
I moved to Livonia about six years ago, and I thought I would hate it. To my surprise, I actually really like it here.
Livonia is pretty much middle class, and it is an affordable place to live. There are cheaper homes and then there are more expensive homes on the west side of Livonia off of Six and Seven Mile Roads. There is a definite division, but everyone is friendly and happy.
As for the schools, they are great. This year however, they are starting a new program where 5th and 6th graders have their own school. This is making many parents upset and they are trying to recall the school board. Nevertheless, it is a peaceful protest and the schools really are awesome. The teachers are great and the career-tech program in the high schools is fabulous.
As for things to do, Livonia isn't bursting at the seams, but it is decent. There is the Laurel Park Mall, which only has two anchor stores, but it also has a few popular stores that teenagers like. We have two movie

What a great city for settling down! - 1/25/2006
We just moved to Livonia from Oak Park and it is night and day! We were getting tired of the hustle and bustle as we were a just a mile from Ferndale and Royal Oak before. We've settled in Livonia. It's quiet, family oriented, friendly and for a larger city has a bit of a small town feel. I really love it. The only criticism that I would give to Livonia is that there really isn't much culture and the restaurants are nowhere near as good as they were in Royal Oak and Ferndale. But if you like quiet and family...this is the place to
